MUSIC-ROLL END.

Application filed March 2, 1925. Serial No. 12,620.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, WILLIAM M. SAUN- DERs, acitizen of the United States, residing at ater-bury, county of New Haven, State of Connecticut, have invented a certain new and useful Improvement in Music-Roll Ends, of which the following is a full, clear, and exact description.

My invention relates to music roll ends and has for its object to provide a new and improved sheet metal music roll end which shall be strong and accurate and inexpensive in manufacture. The following is a description of an embodiment of my invention reference being had to the accompanying drawing, in which:

Figure 1 is a side elevation of a music roll, partly in section, embodying my invention;

Fig. 2 is aright hand end view of the same;

Fig. 3 is a left hand end view of the same; and

Fig. 4 is a section on. the line 44-, Fig. 1. Referring more particularly to the drawing, 2 is a sheet of perforated paper upon a tubular core 4 of pasteboard or the like.. 6 is a flanged member having a curlededge 8 and a tubular projection 10 drawn fromits center so as to produce a shankentering the core of the roll. Secured to the flanged memberis a cup-shaped shell 12 having a flange 14 which is spot-welded to the flange of the flanged member. The right hand roll end is provided with a recess 16 forming a bearing for a fixed'spindle, while the left hand roll end is provided with a slot-18 adapted to receive the flattened end of a driving spindle. 1

These roll ends can bemade lip-from the sheet metal by means of suitable dies and when so made the shanks 10 being integral with the flanges will eliminate the possibility of the roll running out of true and furthermore theflange of the flanged niein-' her being forced upagainst the end of the core secures a true riding edge for the paper to curl against. Furthermore, any tblow upon the end of the roll will be transmitted to the flange of the flanged member along a line parallel with the axis of the roll so that the force of the blow will be resisted by a direct thrust, thus reducing the liability of wise blow. The flange of the flanged memher is reenforced by radial corrugations 2O which together with the curled edge 8 enable the flange member to be made of light material and still have the necessary strength. By

making the shank integral with the flange of the flanged member I am enabled to make the cup portion 12 of metal of increased gauge I if desired, and also insure true ali nement of the shank and flange of the flanged member. i V

As will be evident to those skilledin the art, my invention permits of various modifications without departing from the spirit thereof or the scope of the appended claims.

hat I claim is:

1. In a music roll end a sheet metal flange having a hollow portion protruding therefrom and integral therewith and a cylindrical shell extending in theopposite direction from said hollow portion and constitutlng a second protruding portion and havmg a rim secured to said flange member adacent to the wall of said hollow protruding portion, one of said oppositely extending portions having a spindle engaging portion.

2. In a music roll end a. sheet-metal flange having a hollow portion protruding therefrom and integral therewith and a cylindrical she-ll extending in the opposite di rection from said hollow portion and constituting a second protruding portion and having a rim secured to said flange member adjacent to the wall of said hollow protruding portion, one of said oppositely extending portions having a spindle engaging slotted portion.

3. In a music roll end a sheet metal flange having'a cylindrical hollow shank protruding therefrom andintegal therewith, and a cup-shaped shell extending in the opposite direction from saidshank and constituting a second protruding portion and having a rim secured to said flange member adj accnt to the wall of said hollow protruding portion, said shell being provided with a slot for a driving spindle. r

In testimony whereof, I have signed my name to this specification this 27th day of February, 1925.

. WILLIAM M. SAUNDERS.
